I don;t want him playing in the match at all.
1. I don;t think he's right for waht we need agaisnt aresnal. for this game, i think id prefer pedro. though if ibra not play based on his form, i would play henry. based on current form id play henry over ibra, but i really wouldnt play them both.
2. hes a great professional, but his loyalty to arsenal my affect things (unintentioanlly)
3. the circus around it could distract
4. hes improving but still dotn think he has been performing well enough for a long enough period for inclusing him not to be risk.
iwatched interview were he said something like "I am in pain. I will be professional, but I am really in pain. i do not want to play against arsenal." i respect henry for this, and trust him to try and play professionally, but if i were pep, id play him maybe at nou camp, not at arsenal.

You're completely right there - if a player won't be 100% motivated there's no point at all in playing them. Simple.

If Henry plays bad against Arsenal I don't think that his attitude or motivation would be the problem. He looks like good enough professional to me to handle this "gooner thing" in him, if it happens it will be because of his poor form and physical condition as always.
It's scary to me to even think that someone could not be fully motivated during CL 1/4-finals, even against his former club.

Henry playing for us in the Arsenal game I dont think is an option.....he's professionalism is not there and it is a shame as I would have prefered his usefulness and willing to interchange than Ibra's ineptness to conform to the Barca way......below is a link to him stating he 'doesnt want to play against Arsenal'....now this I dont understand, your being paid by a club, handsomly might I add, your 32 and still gettin a little run of games, you have NEVER WON a champions leauge, you come to us an we give you one....a TREBLE! for goodness sake....I think you OWE us as much as you owe Arsenal!
Look at Beckham for example, ok he had a point to prove in regards to going to the World Cup....but he came on against Man U at Old Trafford and he was arguably the best performer of the night! Yes he was emotional, an yes he still has great affinity towards the club, but he was a model professional and PLAYED the game.....to me Henry you dissappointed!!

Hmmmm im not too sure FCBarca, theres undying loyalty and theres foolishness....he was SOLD by Wenger! If they loved him soo much why sell him? Gary Neville will be at Man U for life, Scholes, Giggs......he didnt have to be sold! Cesc was STOLEN! I just feel a bit betrayed by him.....its all over skysports news now!

"I don't want to play against Arsenal" and "I won't play against Arsenal" are two completely different things. How I said, if it happens that Henry is crap against Arsenal, it would be because he's usually crap this season. Not because of something else.
But it's pretty obvious that the medias love these "former player, former club" things. Same was with Kaka and Milan. They will always talk about it, because it attracts people's attention.

How is Titi's relation with Arsenal? Would he get jeered?
He will be given a heroes welcome. He is an Arsenal Legend and never has a bad word for us in the press.
